Adding the ifconfig line and then listing every interface but the one I want configured in network_interfaces does prevent it from being configured at boot while having an ifconfig line in rc.conf, but if I try to use rc.d/netif to start the interface, rc.d/netif does nothing because it tests the interface against the contents of network_interfaces and cloned_interfaces, so the interface I left out will be excluded. Have I overlooked an option somewhere? What happens if you configure the interface in 'down' state, like : ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xff00 down" Then rc.d/dhclient won't work. The "DHCP" keyword must be present in the ifconfig line in order for dhcpif to test true. A similar logic is in place for wpaif based on the "WPA" keyword. I am not sure it will help, but have you tried playing with /etc/start_if.DEVICE scripts? I do not know where they are documented, but you can configure a network device this way. I used it in the past to change the MAC address on a NIC at boot before the card was configured in rc.conf.

Hi, What happens if you configure the interface in 'down' state, like : ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xff00 down" P.S.: Just an idea, never tried it :) --niki ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
